Race Notes

Brad Keselowski who started in 2nd in the outside row jumped to an early lead and led the first 11 laps. He was an extremely aggressive blocker.

The Joe Gibbs Racing drivers who elected to start in the back, stayed at the back for the entirety of the race. Just a few laps into the race they were a few seconds behind the field running by themselves.

Notable Moment: During the first round of pit stops Joey Logano went back out on the track with a jack hung up under his car. He had to come back to pit road to get it removed and that essentially served the penalty.

Big Moment:On lap 42 Martin Truex Jr. engine blew up which brought out the first caution of the race.

On the restart following the Truex caution Brad Keselowski once again jumped out to the lead.He then led the next 15 laps.
